If it is such an incredible, fool-proof technology with no downside and
nothing but power to be had and lag to be reduced, why doesn't any OE use
ceramic coatings -or do they? I know, cost is an issue for OEs, but a simple
technology like this could be priceless for these manufacturers going
through extreme lengths to get the power to happen sooner, and so on. Most
no-brainer technologies like this usually find their way into, or come from,
OE utilization. Why not ceramic-coated pistons?
